Sell it for 50p, kids jigsaw as dont sell as well as adults

The cheapest BIN lion king jigsaw is £4.95 and there are plenty that sell that price and higher. Box isn't perfect on mine, but the jigsaw itself is perfectly fine. So I'm not selling it for 50p, especially as mine could be worth more as there's no other with that picture and it's a well known puzzle/board game make.

Disney stuff sells well regardless of what the item is.

I've looked at selling and previously sold as well done general web searches. I've tried searching different keywords, descriptions etc. Some items just don't come up with any result at all, or it comes up with something similar but not quite right.

For example, I have a disney lion king jigsaw puzzle. Now, yes, there are a number of puzzles for the lion king. However, not a single one is the same image as the one I have, nor are any the same brand (Waddingtons) and I can't find it anywhere. The puzzles I can find vary in price so how much is mine worth? How can I possibly find out?

I assume you have you tried the google image search? I find that can sometimes bring up what you are looking for if it is not a common item.

Look at completed listings, plenty of Lion King jigsaws at considerably less than that went unsold. I can see loads with no sale at 99p. In fact looking at completed listings there are considerably more unsold than actually sold.

There's a Waddington one here at 99p unsold, so I think 50 p is looking reasonable at a car boot

A job lot would mean collection only though.

Yep. I have quite a few things that just don't come up at all

That is a similar puzzle, but a different image. They also didn't have the poster, which I do...somewhere lol. It doesn't even say it's complete. I think with a better listing that could get that 99p.

Doesn't hurt to aim higher, especially with an ebay free listing weekend or assuming that people at carboots will try and knock you down in price.

As it's free listing now put them on at what you want and see how they go.
The next free listing may not be til then end of August (bank holiday w/end)which would tie in with the extra charges on postage, for 3 day + auctions.

I know, that's what I was thinking. For certain items I still have no idea what would be a reasonable start price though and I don't want to start them at 99p.
